Just remember Jeremiah 29:11 when you&#39;re feeling down and don&#39;t know what&#39;s in store for you next. Family is definitely important so take the time to cuddle on the couch when you can or have dinner together. You&#39;ll be happy you did.

I love the phrase &#39;Let go, and Let God.&#39; Something I seriously struggle with from time to time. I do believe our families are or at least should be the most important aspect of our lives, but sometimes it&#39;s hard to feel completely committed to them and the other things that make us happy. Your example of letting go/giving up and making that one aspect the most important sheds light on the beautiful way our Father in Heaven helps us to &#39;have it all. Getting our priorities in order is something every one of us needs to do on a daily basis.<br /><br />I am so glad I cam by today.

Part of the move last year made things harder simply because with all the renovations nothing is ever &quot;in its place&quot; with also irritates my OCD.

That&#39;s all me because I like to feel like I&#39;m in control. For years I&#39;ve been able to manage those impulses on my own, however the last move broke me I think. It&#39;s taking some work, and I still have moments, days even, when I can&#39;t let it go, but I&#39;m getting better at it.

Something had to go and it was the writing. After the moms passed away and I retired from the job, I still couldn&#39;t write. So I wrote for fun, for me. Eventually, my enthusiasm for writing returned. It took a few years, though. So do what&#39;s best for you and your family.

I&#39;ve found with myself that life in general moves smoother if I don&#39;t let stress get to me. Things happen and you have to roll with it.

It&#39;s a letting go of a desperate attempt to control your life. That causes so much stress in every area because we can&#39;t ever really be in total control. That has a been a very hard lesson for me to learn ever since I &quot;acquired&quot; an auto-immune disease. Sometimes I have to say no, I have to go back and say no even after I&#39;ve said yes. You have to take care of YOU because without you, there isn&#39;t your writing but your family needs YOU to be YOU! <br /><br />I&#39;m glad you&#39;ve found peace with your decision. I let go of my writing over the summer and I experienced the most wonderful thing: I found my voice AND wrote a rough draft of a novel during September. It has a long way to go, but it&#39;s the first real writing I&#39;ve done in a long time. When we let go and give control back to the One who really has control so many wonderful things happen. To paraphrase Paulo Cohelo in &quot;The Alchemist&quot;: &quot;When we let our dreams go out into the Universe, the Universe will do everything in its power to help us achieve them.&quot;<br /><br />Cheers!
